performance in general screams, but sometimes when i start up a large
process (netscrape, or vmware) it dogs down for a couple seconds.
the one question i have is about VM. the machine has 256MB of RAM in
it, and i never get near this usage with the actual processes
running. nevertheless, /proc/meminfo says:
danube:/# cat /proc/meminfo
total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached:
Mem: 262098944 257241088 4857856 0 81330176 91557888

if 90MB are just cache, why do i have ~55MB swapped? i'm not sure how
to see exactly how much of that swap is really being used or how often
things move in and out of swap, though.
